Bob Billa Plumbing

What this record tells you

Bob Billa Plumbing holds Florida licence CFC019149, a CFC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered plumbing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 1981, which makes it one of the longest-held licences for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 559 active plumbing licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2018. That is 45 years of continuous licensure.

Bob Billa Plumbing is one of 6 active plumbing licences registered to an address in Sun City Center, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
